    Outstanding! Would hire again!

    We used Jaye for our wedding, and her and her assistant Amy were nothing but lovely to be around, and were just so kind, and personable. We have some photos already from our wedding day, and they came out beautifully! I would recommend her 100%

    A photographer captures your wedding memories for a lifetime

    Jaye Kogut Photography made our wedding day complete :) Her photography work is absolutely beautiful and encompasses everything we knew we wanted for our memories of our wedding day. Jaye and her team have done multiple weddings at our venue, which her was definitely a plus. She is such a genuine person and truly loves what she does, which brings out the best in every couple, and for both my hubs and I being self conscious people, it made all of that anxiety go away and we truly enjoyed our engagement session and our wedding portraits. Jaye and her team captured so many large group pictures which corralling all those people was not an easy task, and the attention to detail was evident in some of the preview pics- I can’t wait to receive the rest! Also noticed that her team would often take a picture and look at the image, not just blindly shooting pics – which makes all the difference in the end product. That care in craft was truly amazing and she provided advice throughout the process on timeline of the day, etc. which really helped everything come together. The wedding day goes by so fast - you remember each other, you remember the day, your families, and your friends, but you also remember some of the people that truly did everything possible to make that day amazing, and Jaye, Nino, and Bernadette are a significant part of what made our wedding as special as it was. I truly cannot thank Jaye and her team enough, and while I know we are clients, she truly has become such a good friend of ours, and we absolutely adore her.

    Jaye is so AWESOME! She is easy to work with and makes being in front of the camera comfortable and fun! Her work speaks for itself, her pictures are obviously stunning. She is also very organized and very responsive via email, instagram, texts etc. She promised us our engagement photos in 3-4 weeks and we had them in a week and a half! Do yourself a favor and hire Jaye! She will make your wedding planning process much easier

    The Force is Golden with This One

    Jaye Kogut is one of the nicest, most down to earth wedding photographers I have ever met. I knew I wanted her to photograph every part of my wedding journey before I was even engaged. Her photography work is absolutely beautiful and encompasses everything I wanted for my memories that would last a lifetime. I would recommend her for anyone who wants a fabulous, personable photographer for any important occasion.

    Jaye Kogut Photography made my wedding photo dreams come true!

    Jaye is an absolute dream to work with from start to finish for your wedding day photography. Booking a photographer was something I took very seriously for our wedding, speaking to at least 10 if not more potential hires. When I looked at Jaye's website for the first time, I just felt something different about her. It goes without saying her work is stunning, light and bright which is my preferred style, but there was a personal touch to everything she did that made it feel a lot more special. The first time I spoke to Jaye, I knew my hunch was correct as she spent her time asking me about my then Fiancé and our relationship, our engagement, our hopes for our wedding, clearly making an effort to understand us as a couple. I knew after that call I could not go wrong booking someone who not only was unmistakably talented and professional, but also CARED about my wedding, despite doing this day in and out. It's easy to feel that you are just a number to many vendors who attend hundreds of weddings a year, but Jaye never made being part of my day feel to me that it was a chore or "work" for her. She answered any and all of my questions over the course of a year quickly and completely. She helped me feel comfortable with the timeline of our day when I was nervous about accomplishing what I wanted which was to get our photos done before our ceremony to enjoy the day with our friends and family. The day of our wedding, Jaye kept things moving, listened to me but guided the group, was efficient, clear, and really lead our day. People will tell you that's the DJ's job, but honestly before the party starts it is the photographer and I cannot imagine what chaos would have ensued if Jaye was not on the ball. She uses just the right balance of authority but kindness to get you and your husband what you asked for, and you will be so happy as many people will tell you your wedding day is a blur and you need someone with clear vision to get you what you wanted from this experience. The only tangible thing that lasts from a wedding day are your pictures and I can't say enough complimentary statements to make my point that Jaye is kind and compassionate person, but a talented and trustworthy professional. Working with Jaye was hands down one of my favorite vendor experiences from our special day!

    I searched and searched for the perfect photographer for my wedding. That's when I found Jaye! She was absolutely amazing! Jaye and her team were so spectacular. They were very professional, and kind. They really helped the whole bridal party relax and have fun while taking photos. She made us feel so comfortable. The whole experience was effortless. Her photos were so beautiful, and they really captured our wedding perfectly. I just can't get over how gorgeous all of the pictures are and how seamless she made the whole process. I'm beyond happy that we decided to hire Jaye. Thank you so much Jaye!

    Jaye was a pleasure to work with and I love the photos she captured from our surprise wedding! She is friendly, personable and professional and handles the wedding craziness with ease. She knows how to get done what needs done in an understated and unassuming manner that works nicely when dealing with a lot of people. Crossing the t's and dotting the i's BEFORE the event allows her to do what she does best during the event - without having to bother you for direction. I highly recommend Jaye...you won't be disappointed.

    Jaye Kogut Photography was by FAR the best money we spent on anything for our wedding! We received so much more than photos that exceeded every expectation, the entire process was an incredible journey. Not only did Jaye offer amazing advice and guidance about our engagement and wedding photos but provided us with the most incredible stress-free experience leading up to the big day. She worked with us in every way possible to accomplish everything we hoped to with our photos. The day of, her and her staff were amazing, kept everyone laughing and were entirely professional. We even received some of her favorite images within the week! I would not only recommend Jaye Kogut as one of her brides and now biggest fans, but also as an event planner. As a wedding professional myself, I have had the honor of working with amazing talent but nobody has ever come close to surpassing the entire Jaye Kogut experience. I would get married over and over again just to have the absolute pleasure of working with her a million times. Our families and friends still talk about how amazing she was and how beautiful every single photo we received is. Don't hestitate. Book her now!

    Jaye recently took our engagement photos and they came out amazing. During the session, we were extremely impressed with her professionalism and how comfortable she made us both feel. It felt like working with an old friend. She was very responsive to any questions we had and our proofs were ready quicker than we expected. She posted a teaser on Facebook only two days later which all of our friends and family were raving about. Jaye had all of our proofs ready less than two weeks later and we were so impressed with each of the close to 200 pictures she took. It was so hard to choose which ones we wanted to use for our engagement album and for our save the dates. We couldn't be happier that we chose Jaye as our wedding photographer and can't wait to see the work she will do at our wedding next summer.

    **Update! From start to end, our experience with Jaye was seamless, fun, and comfortable! She did our engagement shoot and wedding day. The pictures from both came out absolutely gorgeous- our family and friends can't get over it!
    Jaye did a fantastic job keeping in touch with us about how things were going with the wedding and what she needed from us in a very timely manner. Nothing was ever rushed or last minute. On the day of our wedding, she, her co-photographer, and assistant worked so hard, but there was so sense of stress or rushing. When you have tons of family and friends who want to talk to you and be with you during that time, its really important to have a photographer who knows how to get the shots without being aggressive or upsetting people.
    We just got our wedding album and USB with images a few days ago and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. If you want someone who is the epitome of professionalism who is still going to produce beautiful pictures and become a true friend, I highly recommend Jaye Kogut Photography!

    What a terrific experience! I’m so glad I called Jaye. I needed a head shot for a book I am publishing, but it’s been years since I’ve been in front of a camera. I was afraid I’d be too shy to be myself. Upon a friend’s recommendation, I called Jaye Kogut Photography and we set up the shoot. I arrived at the site feeling quite awkward but Jaye was already there and was so personable right from the start that I quickly relaxed. The setting she’d chosen was perfect for the shots I wanted. What a fun time! We were laughing and joking like old friends so quickly. She is the loveliest person you’d ever want to meet.

    Okay, you’re saying so she’s nice, but is she any good? And I’d say the proof is in the proofs. A good portrait photographer can make you look good, but a great one – a great one can capture the essence of her subject. Jaye is truly an artist. I saw the best version of myself staring back at me from the samples. I was delighted. They were better than I even hoped for.

    Jaye is encouraging, supportive and friendly and has an eye for people. I recommend her whole-heartedly and plan on having her do my daughter’s Sweet 16 as well. What a joy to work with.

    I can't even begin to say how much I enjoyed working with Jaye. From our first meeting I knew I wanted her to photograph our wedding. She is very professional yet so fun and easy to work with. She was very responsive throughout the entire process and always answered my questions, no matter how crazy I thought they were.

    The day of our wedding she was on time and her and her assistant Andrea were a pleasure to work with. I got so many compliments on how nice and friendly they were! And of course, her pictures are amazing. She took our engagement pictures as well and it's so hard to pick a favorite, they are all wonderful!

    I highly recommend Jaye for all your photography needs, she is so creative and talented, you won't be disappointed! Thank you again Jaye for making our day so special and giving us amazing pictures to remember it by.

    By far the best investment we made for our wedding day.
    Jaye & her team arrived early to our hotel the morning of our wedding. From start to finish, they provided professional & thorough service. Our photos are beyond perfect and exactly what we wanted to remember our special day. She captured the details I put into our wedding and really got some nice shots of everyone having fun! I loved all of our photos and they conveyed the style and feel of our wedding perfectly. I cannot say enough how happy we are with the service, communication, and delivery of services by Jaye! My husband and I have said over (and over) and over again that the photos were the best money we have ever spent. The whole day goes by so quickly that you really need good photos to capture everything. She was so wonderful at planning everything, so I was able to relax and enjoy my own reception! How awesome is that! I plan on using her services for future events (baby, family portraits)!! Thank you Jaye!!!!!

    Jaye and her crew are absolutely amazing! They are creative, professional, flexible, responsive, and organized. Jaye has an eye for detail, and she used this perspective to capture special moments throughout our wedding. Our pictures are beautiful and we would highly recommend Jaye Kogut photography for any event.

    Brian and I had the pleasure of working with Jaye a year ago for our engagement photos and again this year for our wedding. From meeting number 1 Jaye understood my vision for my wedding and what kind of feel I wanted my pictures to give off. She nailed it! Jaye was awesome from start to finish making our photo session which could have been a little awkward easy and fun. Brian and I were genuinely laughing in most of our photos and the natural look to them is what makes people love them so much! We could not have asked for a better photographer. Her professionalism and expertise make her the perfect wedding photographer. Thank you so much Jaye we will definitely be using you for any family portraits we have in the future!

    My fiance and I had Jaye photograph our engagement session back in May. We are not very outgoing when it comes to meeting new people. We were amazed at how quickly we felt comfortable with Jaye. She not only kept us laughing, but truly made us feel special. We had a lot of fun in our session with Jaye and the pictures came out so natural. We loved her so much that she will be photographing our wedding next year. We cannot wait! We absolutely love our engagement photos and can't wait to see how great the wedding photos will be! Jaye is the best! I've had numerous people comment about how wonderful the engagement photos are. We recommend her to everyone.

    Jaye Kogut Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Jaye was a pleasure to work with.. very professional, yet laid back and fun at the same time. My husband and I can both be very uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Jaye (and her second shooter, Jessica) kept us both at ease and you can't tell at all from our photos that we were nervous. Jaye managed to capture all of our special moments of the day from our prep throughout the ceremony & reception. Every time we look at our photos we feel like we're right back at our wedding- she really is a true artist. Jaye also got all our proofs and final images (wedding & engagement) back to us super quick.. even before her estimated date. I have recommended Jaye Kogut Photography to everyone I know that is in need of an event photographer and will be using her again for all our future photography needs!

    We would highly recommend Jaye Kogut Photography. Not only is Jaye accommodating and understanding of her clients’ needs, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She made us laugh and we felt like we could be ourselves.

    We wanted our wedding to represent us as a couple and therefore, we wanted a good mix of tradition and relaxed atmosphere. Jaye was willing to work with us and tailor a package that directly met our needs.

    Most importantly, our wedding photographs are beautiful! Jaye demonstrates an amazing attention to detail and we loved the finished products. Again, I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a wedding photographer.

    We can’t thank you enough, Jaye Kogut Photography!

    Jaye was absolutely amazing. Her pictures are stunning. She captured every moment perfectly. I would definitely recommend using her. I can't wait to use her again for other occasions.

    Jaye was awesome! She was quick to respond to me and find a date and time that worked for me, not to mention she was always available and answered all my questions and more! She was so professional too! She showed up on time, with all her equipment ready to go. She was ready before I even was! I loved the quality of the pictures she took. I posted one on my Facebook and all my friends loved it. (I got 70 likes within a few days... I normally don't get more than 10 likes in a week!) She made the process fun and kept it entertaining. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and already have!
